The London Eye

The London Eye

Set directly on the banks of the iconic River Thames, and completed in 2000, it is Europe’s largest Ferris Wheel – and is a huge point of attraction for visitors to the glorious capital.

It stands at 443 feet tall, with a diameter of 394 feet, and offers the one of the highest viewing points in London – just surpassed by the whopping Shard. Take in the breathtaking panorama of London from the top, and enjoy views of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and so much more.

Attracting over 3.75 million visitors annually, this is the UK’s most popular paid tourist attraction. It’s also the focal point for Britain on New Year’s Eve, as fireworks are lit on and around the wheel.

Each capsule holds 25 people, and takes 30 minutes to go around. You can even take a private capsule, and sip on a delicious glass of champagne as you go around.
